Data extractor convert to one image file

November 8th, 2021, 7:16

I would like to join the .bin files from the data extractor to one single .bin file.
Similar to this topic: https://forum.hddguru.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=17004.

I know that it can be done in the GUI but I would need a command line approach. Because I would want to write a script that converts all my backups to a .vmdk (virtual machine disk file) but the tools to convert require a single file.

If the files are separated by LBA range, with no additional structure, I think you can try:

copy /B file1.bin+file2.bin+fileN.bin HDD.bin

HDD.bin will be your .bin file

Don't do that! In large disks (with many image files) order will be wrong because the file names lengths are not the same.

Just simply export to external file. (Right mouse disk in DE->Export->Export to file).
